Manzone (the second vaccinifer
of the series). She was aged six months. On the tenth day, again, she
was used for the vaccination of seventeen other children, of whom seven
became affected with syphilis, suffering in the same manner as the
thirty-nine infected from Chiabrera. Two months afterwards she was taken
to Acqui, and seen by Dr. Silventi, who recognised upon her a
syphilitic eruption, with mucous tubercles about the anus and vulva,
mucous patches on the commissures Of the lips, and indolent glandular
enlargements, the primary affection at the seat of the vesicles not even
being healed. The child died in September. The nurse who suckled her
got ulcers on the breast, and from the various other children who were
syphilised the disease spread by con tagion to eighteen mothers or
nurses and to three other children.
